Summary of outcome

On 4 December 2024 and 4 February 2025, we received concerns that the provider was not meeting requirements relating to safeguarding policies and procedures, suitable people, staff: child ratios and the safety and suitability of premises, environment and equipment. On 14 February and 17 February 2025, the provider notified us about matters relating to safeguarding policies and procedures and the safety and suitability of premises, environment and equipment. The notifications mean that the provider met their legal responsibility as set out in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage to notify Ofsted of significant events. However, the provider did not notify Ofsted of one of the significant events within the 14 day timescale which is a requirement of their registration.
